Abhijeet, Dcp and Gauri reached crime branch bureau as their statement is going to record. Abhijeet was being impatient as he didn't want to waste a single second now, he wanted to be with his family as soon as possible. He was feeling both fear and excitement at the same time to meet them.

" Sir aapka statement humne record kar liya hai ab aap ja sakte hai "

Abhijeet nodded curtly .

" Sir mai aur Gauri nikalte hai, mai aapko mission ki report within a week submit Kar dunga ". He said politely to Dcp sir

" sorry to interrupt you sir but Gauri abhi nahi ja sakti...i mean wo Raka ki wife hai aur humara ye janna bahut jaroori hai ki wo sachme nirdos hai ya fir natak Kar rahi hai ". officer punit said eyeing Gauri .

Gauri clutched Abhijeet's hand in fear like her whole life is dependent on him. Abhijeet gently applied pressure on her hand to reassure her that he is not going to leave her alone, he will be there for her. Always

" sir Gauri is innocent, Raka ne iske parents ko threaten karke Gauri se jabardasti Saadi ki thi aur Gauri ko Raka ke kale karnamo ke bare me Kuch Nahi pata hai. Aur agar fir bhi iss case me agar Gauri ki madad Chahiye to use jab bulaya jaega wo aa jaegi " Abhijeet said sternly to DCP sir.

" Abhijeet agar tumhe ispe itna hi bharosa hai to mujhe koi problem Nahi hai , you can take her par agar ye pata chala ki ye bhi mujrim hai to Kya tum Uske consequences uthane ke liye taiyar ho ? Tum ek samajhdar CID officer ho aur tumhe pata hoga ki Kisi mujreem ke liye humdardee Kitna khatra ban Sakta hai Puri department ke liye bhi aur tumhare career ke liye bhi ". DCP sir said firmly.

" sir uski koi naubat ayegi Nahi fir bhi agar aisa Kuch hua to Mai Sare consequences uthane ke liye ready hun, Gauri ko Mai apni gaurantee pe le ja Raha hun sir and I promise meri liye hue decision se agar department ko koi nuksaan pahuncha to Mai khud Cid ki job se resign Kar dunga "

Everyone looked shocked on his decision as senior inspector Abhijeet is endangering his career for a mere girl . After getting approval of DCP sir Abhijeet leave from there with Gauri .

" Abhijeet jee Hume Aapke Saath Nahi Jana , aap please Hume Kisi hotel me chhor dijiye " . Gauri said while controlling her tears.

" Gauri tum "

" please hum ab aur aap ke liye museebat Nahi khara Karna chahte , Aapne humare liye bahut Kuch Kiya hai please akhri Baar humari baat man lijye please". She pleaded with teary eyes

Abhijeet frustratingly ran his hand on hair and sighing deeply he control his anger and said in cold voice " gari me baitho age ek hotel hai Mai tumhe wahan chhor dunga "

Gauri clinched with his tone but she didn't react and quietly sat on car. Abhijeet drop her and after getting reassured that she has chek in room. he left from there without giving a single glance to Gauri .

Gauri's heart was breaking seeing his indifferent behaviour but she knows it's right thing to do. she didn't want to be a burden and trouble on her angel. yes Abhijeet is her angel who freed her from demons and gave her hope to fulfill her dreams , to live a life fully without anyone's fear , rule and regulations. 5 years living with a criminal has given a big scar on her heart but after seeing Abhijeet all her scars healled , all her pain vanished somewhere, her cursed life became boon when she called head over heels for her angle Abhijeet. And after knowing that she could be endanger for his career and reputation, she made herself stone hearted and let him go , let her love of life being far away from her, let her go her happiness. she herself didn't realise when Abhijeet became so much important for her until getting separated from him she realised Abhijeet has become an integral part of her life without whom she couldn't be happy ever .

" I Love You Abhijeet...I Love you so much ". she burst out in tears hiding her face in Palm.

...

" How dare she to think herself as trouble ".

" you didn't tell yet what does she means to you , so it's not her fault to think she is being only trouble for you idiot "

" But can't she see how much i care for her, how much I trust her "

" Huh Until I didn't measure the anger temperature of my dad and chhotu , I can't think about her. yeah yeah as your stupid heart will allow you to not miss her "

" it's not my heart's fault If she is too cute n crazy at the same time ...then how can I not miss her". He sighed himself sadly.

His chain of thought broke with DCP sir's call , he chided DCP sir inwardly at call him in wrong timing.

" yes sir "

" Abhijeet tum Ghar pahunch Gaye "

" no sir Mai abhi raste me hun..koi kaam tha Kya sir " . His heart was praying for no in his reply because his paitence to meet his father and brother are breaking.

" Abhijeet ek bad news hai "

" Bad news ? ". Abhijeet asked in weak tone

" Abhijeet tumhare dad hospital me hai , abhi abhi mujhe salunkhe Ka call Aya tha Mai to khud shocked hun ye news sunkar I m sure wo theek hoga tum pareshan na ho , you have to be strong Abhijeet, abhi ACP aur Daya dono ko tumhe sambhalna hai "

Abhijeet remained numb and his mind went block , he heard nothing except " his dad in hospital" . His heart was galloping in fear but his mind stopped to functioning.

" Abhi agar dubara tum Bina bataye gayab hue na to Mai tumse Kabhi baat Nahi karunga "

" kis hospital me hai wo ". Abhijeet asked in blank voice.

DCP became tense after hearing his tone which held nothing anyhow he replied in low tone " city hospital, second floor iccu no 4 "

Abhijeet cut the call and reached the hospital, he was feeling so many emotions at same time that he didn't know how to react . His brown orbs which were twinkling sometimes before in thought of meeting his family now were only black holes. And he didn't know when his legs carried him on second floor where his dad was fighting with his life, where his small brother was sitting alone like a lost child. As soon as he laid his eyes on his baby brother his breath hitched as he was not believing that the person who was sitting on bench was his Daya. He had never seen his chhotu this much defeated, he was sitting outside the ICU room immobile staring in space.

" Bhaiya please aap mujhe chhorke Kahi Nahi jaoge promise me..Aapke Bina sabkuch ajeeb Lagta hai mujhe..Mai bahut Akela ho Jata hun Apne abhi Bhaiya ke Bina "

He kept his hand on Daya's shoulder and swore himself when Daya's body didn't respond .

" Daya ". He called keeping his tone soft

" Dad yahan kyun hai tumhe pata hai Kya ? "

Abhijeet's hand trembled after hearing Daya's blank tone . He felt his heart was throbbing painfully in ribcage getting this cold reaction of his baby brother. He was expecting anger, harsh words, beating but not this ... not this behaviour as he didn't matter now .

" bolo Abhijeet pata hai Kya tumhe "?

Daya replied in casual tone " oh sorry Mai bhool Gaya tha tumhe kaise pata hoga tum to Yaha the hi Nahi..koi Nahi mai bata deta hun "

Freddy tried to speak " Daya sir ye time Nahi hai in sab baato Ka "

Daya replied in no nonsense tone " Nahi Freddy Mai aur wait Nahi Kar Sakta Kya pata ye kal fir gayab ho Jaye..aaj hai to Mai bata deta hun "

Daya eyeing toward Abhijeet " Dad ko major heart attack Aya tha "

Abhijeet's whole blood drained up listening the news , everything has a limit but now his mind and heart both reach to a level were anyone can't tolerate any shock but he has to be..he has to be strong to listen what had cause his dad's this condition. His mind was signalling him that worst is waiting for him after Daya's changed attitude toward him but his stubborn heart was not ready to listen his mind.

Daya who has felt infinite fury when he heard Abhijeet's coming news was waiting for this time..was waiting to give him same pain like he and his dad had to endure due to him so he was waiting for Abhijeet but when he felt his brother's his mentor his gaurdian's warm and assuring touch on his shoulder he felt his resolution crack a bit but remembering his dad's state again anger overpowered his love and respect for his brother. But now , now when the same brother was breaking in front of him , his own heart bled thousands of time and deep regret occurred in his heart.

He wanted to leave the place as soon as possible for his own peace but Abhijeet stopped him doing so.

" Dad ko heart attack kyun Aya chhotu " . Abhijeet asked holding Daya's elbow

Daya adverting Abhijeet's eyes " mujhe Nahi pata "

He couldn't forgive his brother who is responsible for his father's condition but he also couldn't see the same brother broken..what a cruel situation, destiny has planned for him .

" Mai Nahi hun na uski wajah ..maine Nahi Kiya na ye ..Freddy tumhe pata hai na please ek Baar boldo Dad ki ye halat meri wajah se Nahi hai ( Freddy lower down his head )...salunkhe sir aap to dad ke best friend ho na aapko to dad ke bare me sab pata hota hai na.. please bataye ki Maine Kuch Nahi Kiya. " Abhijeet was pleading like a kid.

salunkhe couldn't control his anger anymore, after seeing his best friend fighting for his life due to the person his all control on his emotions evaporated in air

" just shut up Abhijeet...just shut up..band Karo apna ye natak..ye dikhawa karke Kya sabit Karna chahte ho tum ki tumhe pradyuman ki fikar hai..tab to tumhe koi fikar Nahi thi jab tumhara baap tumhare pyar ke liye taras Raha tha tabto Tumne nafrat ki Patti bandh li thi Apne aankho me ...itne Saal Tumne use khudse dur rakha Daya se sir rakha..use Bina Kisi Galti ke saja dete rahe tum fir bhi usne tumhe maaf Kar diya par Tumne dubara Uske pyar Ka Uske bharose Ka apmaan Kiya .."

Daya looked at his brother whoes eyes were glued to the floor , he tried to control more damage " sir please"

" what please Daya janne do isse ki isne Rishabh ke katil se badla Lene ke liye Apne baap ko maut ke mooh me jhok Diya "

Abhijeet looked at salunkhe with pain-filled-shock expression ...

"shocked are we ..tumhe Kya Lagta hai pradyuman Ka beta 25 Dino se gayab hai aur wo Kuch Nahi karega..usne khabri ko tumhe dhundne Ka kaam Diya tha aur jab Ramesh ne usko bataya ki tum Pragyav ke peeche Gaye ho to wo ye khabar seh Nahi paya aur nateeja tumhare samne hai ". salunkhe told him harshly.

" sir please bhagwan ke liye chup ho Jaye aapko Nahi pata aap gusse me Kya bol rahe hai " ... Daya said in anger, as he had enough. He couldn't tolerate his brother getting insulted from anyone.

salunkhe looked at Abhijeet in disgust and left from there murmuring " jab bhagwan ne aise bete diye ho to insan ko kisi dushman ki jaroorat hi Nahi "

Hate.

Hate was just a mere word, what Abhijeet was feeling for himself was beyond of anything. It is really miracle that after hearing so many painful yet true (for him ) words from salunkhe he didn't lose his sense. He couldn't broke down cause he has endure every pain after hurting his dad. Killing himself was easy way to deduce the pain but he didn't want to give himself such an easy punishment.

He went to Daya and asked him in teary tone.

" Kya Mai ek Baar Da...ACP sir se mil Sakta hun , I promise Uske baad Mai unhe Kabhi pareshan Nahi karunga "

Daya couldn't believe on his ear that his brother is asking permission to meet his own father. And hearing ACP sir from Abhijeet's mouth like before gave him chilling. He understood , again his Bhaiya is going to distance himself from him and Dad. And he will be damn if he let this thing happen again. Going through so many hate and misunderstanding their family has United and he couldn't tolerate once again being separated from any one of them. They can live without him but he can't begin his day without his dad and Bhaiya.

Daya gulped the lump of tears that formed in his throat.

" Mission me Kahi sar pe chot to Nahi lag gayi aapko, wo humdono ke dad hai aur aapko unse Milne ke liye kisiki bhi permission ki jaroorat Nahi hai aur kisike Kuch bhi kehdene se apdono Ka rishta badal Nahi jaega "

Abhijeet felt overwhelmed, he knew Daya is still anger cum disappointed from his but getting some soft tone from his baby brother has gave him immense strength this time to face his father.

" Doctor ne Kya kaha hai , kaisi halat hai unki " . Abhijeet asked in shievering tone.

" Kal se behtar hai par jab tak unhe hos Nahi aa jata tab tak khatra tala Nahi hai ". Daya said while gaining his own composure.

Abhijeet gulped and pushing the ICU door move inside.

" Daya sir aapne bahut Accha Kiya Jo Aapne Abhijeet sir ko maaf Kar Diya , salunkhe sir ne unhe itna Kuch suna diya bechare andar se toot Gaye honge "

" I am sorry to say Freddy par Mai itni asani se Bhaiya ko maaf Nahi Kar Sakta , khaskar ke ye jante hue bhi ki dad ki aaj Jo halat hai usme Kahi na Kahi unhi laparwahi hai..agar unhe mission par Jana hi tha to kamse kam ek Baar dad ko bol dete .

Aur rahi baat salunkhe sir ki to aaj to Maine unki Umar Ka lihaj karke unse Kuch Nahi Kaha warna..mere Bhaiya ko agli Baar unhone chot pahunchane ki kosis ki to Mai chup Nahi rahunga " .

Freddy patted his shoulder " waise sir Abhijeet sir ke ane se aap Kuch bole to Sahi warna humlog to aapki halat dekhkar dar hi Gaye the "

" kyunki wo meri takat hai.. bachpan se aaj tak usine to sambhala hai mujhe , wo mere liye sabkuch hai Freddy isliye unhe khone se darta hun Mai, duniya me sabse Jada pyar karta hun Mai unse par Iska matlab ye Nahi ki wo Kuch bhi kare, Mera Pura hak hai unse gussa hone Ka " . Daya wiped his tears which flow down from his eyes.

He got to know about khabri when he saw last contact list on ACP sir's phone and after knowing that Abhijeet has gone to mission for catching Pragyav. His own body has become paralyzed in fear for some times so he could very well know how could be his Dad's condition. He was feeling fear , anxiety and anger at the same time when DCP sir informed him about Abhijeet's coming. And he didn't know when his anger overpowered his all sense. By god's gress after seeing Abhijeet's eyes, that pain held on those orbs vanished his anger but the damage has happened. The truth which he stopped to blurt out was revealed none other by Dr salunkhe. He couldn't even imagine how his brother has taken the painful yet brutual words.

...

...

...

...

...

A sob escaped from Abhijeet's mouth as he saw his dad. He stomach churned in painful way and he was feeling nauseous seeing his father's soft -wrinkled skin was brutally pierced with drips and wires. No one can imagine what a person felt when he saw his own on hospital bed fighting with battles of life alone. But in Abhijeet's case the pain was tenfold than anyone because he knows his father is suffering just because of him.

Guilt , hate, anger, frustration everything he was feeling for himself.He hate himself more than that Pragyav who has killed his Rishav bhaiya.

Abhijeet sat on tool beside bed and taking ACP sir's hand softly on his hand he kissed on hurt area where drips attached.

" Aapko bahut dard ho Raha hai na Dad ...Dad Kya Mai aapko Dad bula Sakta hun na ? ." He asked in broken tone

" Mujhe pata hai aap mere jaisa Bura beta deserve Nahi karte , par aap mujhse nafrat to Nahi karoge na.. please aap mujhse nafrat mat Karna dad... please "

He couldn't complete his sentence as his voice became chocked..he cried harshly ..the tears which he controlled after hearing salunkhe sir's painful words were now flowing non-stop in front of his Dad. Everything was taking toll on his body both physically and emotionally. The pain which he felt after Aryan's death was reduced to some extent but after seeing ACP sir his guilt once again overpowered him.

He could neither save Aryan nor ACP sir. He even couldn't fulfill his mumma's wish to always protect his baby brother. But he failed also on that , just because of his hate and anger his chhotu has not get his father's love and attention, and today when he saw him sitting on a bench like a lost child prick his heart like anything. His each tears was the result of his failure, his everytime he failed in duty of a son and brother

He cried , cried until his eyes became deprived of any drop left. His throat was paining from crying for so long . He was feeling drowsy as he didn't eat or drink during the mission and now after crying so much his all energy has drained up , he just wanted to lost in darkness and never to come out from it. But his Dad's Voice gave him strength to stand on his feet , his dad always used to say

" koi bhi dukh ki Ghari sehna mushkil tab hota hai jab hum khudko kamjor maan lete hai , larna chhor dete hai.. situation chahe kaisi bhi ho Hume Kabhi bhi apni responsibility se bhagna Nahi Chahiye aur Nahi khudko hara hua make baithna Chahiye "

" I promise dad Mai Kabhi haar Nahi manunga aur sari responsibilities acche se nibhaunga " . promise 15 years old Abhijeet in determination

" ye hui na mere bete Abhijeet wali baat , are Aapke naam Ka hi matlab humesa jeetna to bolo aap ye quiz competition kaise Nahi jeetoge "

Abhijeet eyes twinkled happily after learning the meaning of his name in true way , he promised himself he will never feel defeat in any toughest situation of life , because he has to feel his father proud on himself.

Abhijeet smiled on his memory and sighing deeply he last time saw his father before coming out from his room.
